Have you heard of Mi Casita Preschools? 

Mi Casita is a Spanish immersion preschool that uses the Creative Curriculum as a launching pad for developing a comprehensive Spanish Immersion preschool education. The Creative Curriculum has been nationally recognized as one of the most effective curriculums in the country.

Teachers create weekly lesson plans that align with the monthly unit of study & address critical developmental skills through music & play, inquiry-based learning, rich literature, socialization, problem-solving, creativity, & authentic learning activities. Parents will receive general theme-related information & target vocabulary for each theme to encourage conversations about school at home, in either English or Spanish. As students become more familiar with the program, they will be encouraged to speak in Spanish!

Want to learn more? Comment “Mi Casita” and I’ll send you their interest form 🏠💜📚🌸
